An acid is a proton donor and a base is a proton accepter. Here's a very simple reaction: HCl + NaOH --> NaCl + H2O. Thus, the acid, which is HCl gives its proton to the hydroxide group in NaOH, and water is made as a result. The chlorine and sodium also combine to form NaCl.
Acids + Bases pretty much neutralise each other. They produce salt and water when mixed.
Acids have a pH from 7 to 0 and bases have a pH for 7-14. Water is neutral with a pH of 7. If an equal strength acid and base are mixed together they cancel each out out.
When they are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. This chemical reaction is called neutralisation reaction. It is called so because they both neutralise each other to produce a salt and water. Also remember the following points.When a strong acid and weak base are mixed, the salt formed is an acidic salt.When a strong base and weak acid are mixed, the salt formed is a basic salt.When both the acid and base are strong, then the salt formed is a neutral salt .
No. Mixing an acid with a base would make it more basic and put it more towards neutral rather than making it more acidic.
Acids release hyrogen ions while bases absorb them, thus canceling out the effects of one another.
Acids reacting with bases form salts. Salts may soluble in acids.
They react to each other with means they go through chemical reaction.

Ksp is only for ionic compounds that can produce a precipitate, thus acids and base can not produce a ppt when mixed together. acids and bases are always soluble.

The mass of products equals the mass of reactants.
Bases feel slippery, change litmus blue, and become less basic when mixed with acids.
This process is called as neutralization of an acid and a base.
An acid and a base will react to produce a salt and (usually) water.
A base would be a bitter substance a lot of substances we eat and drink are acids & bases, but the reason why its not bitter is because of sugar & salt. An acid is a sour substance a lot of food & drinks are acids but, the reason why we can't taste the sour is because of sugar & salt.
